Default Re: SE5, Tell Aaron what\'s on your Wish List

Several empire management suggestions:

1. Ability to add custom amount of units to a construction queue (just a small popup box with a textfield and a OK button).

2. Add Commands to a construction window. First obvious command is "Upgrade", which will pop up a small window with existing obsolete facilities, so you can select which ones you want to upgrade and which ones you want to leave as is. Second command is "Wait X turns", so build queue could look like that:
----------------------
Super Dreadnought
Defensive WP x 12
Wait x 5 turns
Mega Transport
----------------------
Third command is notification command which informs you that queue is empty. 4th - "Scrap facilities". Imo, scraping facilities should not be instant, and require at least 1 turn to accomplish (similar to scraping of ships). Certainly you can think of more commands and ability to make custom commands (directly in the Facilities.txt) will be appreciated. It makes sense to add Commands right to the Build Items list, under the Commands group. Just make it so that they will be always ontop of the list.

3. Empire-wide uprades: move this from Construction Queus window to Colonies window and name it "Uprade Facility Types". Should function identicaly to "Scrap Facility Types" command.
